Faculty Search

With dedicated financial support from the state, the University of Washington has recently established an "eScience Institute". The overall objective of the Institute is to help position the University at the forefront of research both in modern computational science techniques and technologies (sensor networks, data management, data analysis, etc.) and in the fields that depend upon these techniques and technologies. We are searching for a faculty member who has made outstanding contributions to eScience methodology and has advanced the forefront in one of the application domains either through his/her own work or through collaboration with domain scientists. An ideal candidate would be qualified for a joint appointment in a "methodology department" (Applied Mathematics, Computer Science & Engineering, Mathematics, or Statistics) and in an "application department" (Astronomy, Biology, Genome Sciences, Oceanography, ...). We anticipate a hire at the tenured level rapidly providing leadership, although assuming the "Directorship" of the eScience Institute is not a necessity.

Please submit your application through the Web site http://escience.washington.edu/apply/.

Applicants must have earned a doctorate by the date of appointment. Appointments at the Assistant Professor, Associate Professor and Professor ranks will be considered. All University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research, and service. UW is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. We have a culturally diverse faculty and staff and strongly encourage applications from women, minorities, individuals with disabilities and covered veterans. Position contingent on budgetary approval.
